Objective To investigate the clinical and angiographic features in hemorrhagic moyamoya disease patients with the posterior circulation involvement (PCI). Methods The clinical and imaging data of 224 patients with hemorrhagic moyamoya disease from December 2002 to December 2011 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into either a PCI group (n=57)or a non-PCI group (n=167) according to whether they had PCI or not. Results (1)Suzuki staging concentrated in stageⅤandⅥin the PCI group,accounting for 42. 1%(24/57)and 40. 4%(23/57)respectively;Suzuki staging concentrated in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ in the non-PCI group,accounting for 31. 1%(52/167)and 41. 9%(70/167)respectively. There was significant difference in the distribution of Suzuki staging between the patients of both groups (P <0. 01). (2)In the PCI group,the thalamic hemorrhage,intraventricular hemorrhage,ganglia hemorrhage,subarachnoid hemorrhage accounted for 43. 9%(26/57),38. 6%(22/57), 3. 5%(2/57),14. 0%(8/57),respectively;There was no cerebral lobe hemorrhage. In the non-PCI group, the thalamic hemorrhage,intraventricular hemorrhage,basal ganglia hemorrhage,subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebral lobe hemorrhage accounted for 0,37. 7%(63/167),25. 1%(42/167),15. 6%(26/167),21.6 (36/167),respectively. The proportion of hemorrhage types between the PCI group and non-PCI group was significantly different(P<0. 01). (3)The dilation of anterior,posterior choroidal artery ,and patency of posterior communicating artery,posterior pericallosal artery in bleeding side accounting for 19. 3%(11/57),82. 5%(47/57),36. 8%(21/57),78. 9%(45/57)in PCI group and 36. 5%(61/167),3. 0%(5/167),68. 9%(115/167),80. 2%(134/167)in non-PCI group. The ratio of of abnormal vessels between PCI group and non-PCI group had significantly statistical difference (P<0. 01). Conclusion Hemorrhagic moyamoya with PCI is common. Suzuki staging is usually in the advanced stage of vascular staging of moyamoya disease. The thalamic hemorrhage is the main type of bleeding. Posterior choroidal artery rupture may be the main reason of hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the typical value of gamma-radiation dose rate and its confidence interval in tank-transported copper ore by using bootstrap resampling techniques. Methods Bootstrap resampling method, coupled with kernel density estimation, introduced to acquire the typical value of gamma-radiation dose rate in copper ore. Results The typical value of gamma-radiation dose rate in copper ore was expressed as the central tendency of the means of resampling, and two kinds of confidence interval, empirical percentile and bias-corrected accelerated confidence interval, were provided as standard error. Conclusion It is clearly demonstrated that this method has an advantage to give a robust description in explanation of central tendency and variation range of gamma-radiation dose rate data profiles.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of endovascular treatment of posterior communicating artery aneurysm (PcoAA)in keeping the fetal posterior cerebral artery (FPCA) patency. Methods Form January 2014 to December 2015,14 patients with ruptured PcoAA enrolled retrospectively were treated with endovascular embolization. Six of them were treated with simple coil embolization,3 with stent-assisted coil embolization,3 with double catheter-assisted coil embolization,1 with stent-assisted coil embolization + double catheter technique,and 1 with Y-stent in Yijishan Hospital, Wannan Medical College. The immediate embolization rate of PcoAA (using Raymond grade),prognosis of the patients (the modified Rankin scale score at 6 months after procedure),complications,and imaging follow-up results were analyzed. Results The success rate of coil and stenting was 100% . All the stents were accurately released in place without displacement. The immediate Raymond grading of the aneurysms displayed that Raymond grade Ⅰ was in 8 cases,Raymond grade Ⅱ was in 4 cases,and Raymond grade Ⅲ was in 2 cases. All FPCA were kept patent. A coil protruded into internal carotid artery in one case during the procedure. Others did not have any complications,such as intraoperative cerebral vasospasm,in-stent thrombosis,and rupture. All 14 patients were followed up for 3 -24 months after procedure. Two had recurrence. Both were aneurysms embolized with coils only. No rebleeding and ischemic
complications were observed. The modified Rankin scale scores in 13 cases were 0 -2 at 6 months after procedure,1 was 4. Conclusions Endovascular embolization for the treatment of PcoAA and keeping FPCA patency are safe and feasible. A variety of endovascular treatment modalities are necessary in order to keep FPCA patency.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features and prognosis factors of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders related optic neuritis (NMOSD-ON).Methods:An ambidirectional cohort study. From June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2019, 103 patients with AQP4 antibody-positive NMOSD-ON in Department of Neuro-ophthalmology, The First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were included. All patients of followed-up period were ≥24 months. According to the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at the last follow-up, the affected eyes were divided into the low vision group [log of minimum resolution angle (logMAR) BCVA≥1.0] and the non-low vision group (logMAR BCVA<1.0), 66 and 37 cases, respectively. The two groups of patients were compared the genernal clinical characteristics, and the logistic regression model and COX proportional hazard model were used to analyze the relevant factors affecting the patient's visual prognosis and recurrence.Results:Among the 103 cases, 96 cases (93.2%, 96/103) were female; 94 cases (91.3%, 94/103) had unilateral disease; 48 cases (46.6%, 48/103) were the first onset; 85 cases (82.5%, 85/103) were effected by eye pain or orbital pain; 21 cases (20.4%, 21/103) had optic disc edema; 51 cases (49.5%, 51/103) serologically autoimmune antibody test were positive. Orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 101 cases. There was no obvious abnormal signal in visual pathways except for 5 cases (5.0%, 5/101); 96 cases (95.0%, 96/101) had abnormal signal in the visual path, and the optic nerve was found in the orbit; 52 cases had abnormal optic nerve in orbital segment (51.5%, 52/101); 37 cases (35.9%, 37/103) recurred within 24 months. The recovery of logMAR BCVA after the first onset and the logMAR BCVA at the first onset, at 6 months of follow-up in two groups were 1.4±1.0, 0.3±0.4, 1.9±0.7 and 0.4±0.5, 2.1±0.6, 0.3±0.4, respectively; and there were statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients at different times ( Z=-4.967,-7.603,-8.027; P<0.001). Logistic regression multivariate analysis showed that recovery of BCVA≥1.0 logMAR after the first onset [odds ratio ( OR)=226.276, P<0.001 ] and the number of attacks ( OR=8.554, P=0.003) were independent risk factors for low vision. Multivariate analysis of the Cox proportional hazards model showed the higher the MRI score [hazard ratio ( HR)=0.588, P=0.007] and plasma exchange ( HR=0.124, P=0.049) in the acute phase were protective factors for recurrence. Conclusions:Vision loss accompanied by eye pain or orbital pain is the main symptom of onset AQP4 antibody-positive NMOSD-ON, a small number of patients have disc edema, 49.5% patients serologically autoimmune antibody test are positive. Abnormal optic nerve signals can be seen in 95.0% of patients in orbital MRI, and 51.5% patients have abnormalities in the orbital optic nerve. The worse the recovery of BCVA after the first onset and the greater the number of attacks are unfavorable factors affecting the prognosis of vision. High MRI scores and plasma exchange in the acute phase are favorable factors to prevent the recurrence of the disease.

Objective:To investigate the changes of brain microstructure in active Crohn's disease (CD) patients with or without anxiety by diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI), and to explore the relationship between brain microstructure and anxiety in patients with CD.Methods:Thirty-seven patients with CD who were treated in Changzhou Second People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2022 to January 2023 were included as the CD group, and 20 healthy subjects were included as the healthy control group during the same period. All subjects were assessed with hospital anxiety and depression scale-anxiety (HADS-A) before magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) scan. According to the HADS-A score, CD patients were divided into the CD group with anxiety (16 cases) and the CD group without anxiety (21 cases). After MRI scan, DKI parameters were obtained by DKE software. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare DKI parameters between the two groups of CD patients and the healthy control group. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between DKI parameters in different brain areas and psychological scale scores in the two groups of CD patients.Results:The axial diffusion kurtosis(AK)values in the right insula, the left superior temporal gyrus, the right thalamus, the left middle temporal gyrus, the right inferior temporal gyrus, the left lingual gyrus and the right anterior cuneus were significantly different among the three groups ( F=3.060-9.627, all P<0.05).There were significant differences in the radial diffusion kurtosis(RK) values in the right cerebellar region 6 and the left hippocampus among the three groups ( F=4.124, 3.536, 4.200, all P<0.05). Further multiple comparison results showed that the AK values of the right insula (0.701±0.028)( P=0.019), the left superior temporal gyrus (0.764±0.016)( P=0.002) and the right thalamus (0.728±0.016)( P=0.001) in the CD group without anxiety were lower than those of the healthy control group(0.726±0.010, 0.780±0.015, 0.771±0.082), and the RK value of the right cerebellar region 6 ( P=0.021) was lower than that of the healthy control group. The AK values of the right insula ( P=0.023), the left superior temporal gyrus ( P=0.015), the right thalamus ( P=0.031), the left middle temporal gyrus ( P=0.006), the right inferior temporal gyrus ( P=0.001) and the left lingual gyrus ( P=0.007) in the CD group with anxiety were lower than those in the healthy control group. The RK values of right cerebellar region 6 ( P=0.012) and left hippocampus ( P=0.004) were lower than those of healthy control group. The AK values of the right insula ( P=0.002) and the right anterior cuneus ( P=0.017) in the group with anxiety were lower than those in the CD group without anxiety. In the CD group with anxiety, the AK value of the right insula was correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)( r=-0.47, P=0.048), HADS-A score ( r=-0.68, P=0.002), SES-CD( r=-0.84, P<0.001) and duration of disease ( r=-0.61, P=0.008) were negatively correlated. AK values in the left superior temporal gyrus with anxiety CD group were negatively correlated with HADS-A score ( r=-0.51, P=0.030) and SES-CD score ( r=-0.48, P=0.046). Conclusion:The microstructure of some brain regions was damaged in CD patients with or without anxiety, which was manifested as decreased RK and AK values in DKI parameter values, which may be related to the anxiety state in active CD patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture treatment on brain network reorganization for the patients with stroke recovery, and therefore understand the neural mechanism underlying Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture treatment.Methods:Prospective case series study. Thirteen acute ischemia stroke patients were recruited from the Department of Neurology, Shanghai Minhang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from Aug 2018 to Oct 2019. They were treated with Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture once a day for 10 consecutive days in addition to routine treatments, and received clinical assessments before treatment and 14 days after treatment onset. EEG signals were recorded during the first acupuncture treatment, from before inserting the needles (the baseline), during needle retention, to after removal of the needles. The brain network was constructed using phase locking index, and its clustering coefficient (CC), characteristic path length (PL) and small-worldness (S) were analyzed using one-way repeated ANOVA.Results:Compared with the baseline, the CC of delta-band network (sparsity=0.10: t=3.306, P=0.006; 0.12: t=2.909, P=0.013; 0.14: t=2.331, P=0.038) and the PL of delta-band (sparsity=0.12: t=3.236, P=0.007; 0.14: t=2.754, P=0.017, 0.18: t=2.878, P=0.014) and alpha-band (sparsity=0.10: t=2.432, P=0.032) networks were significantly decreased during the needle retention stage. Clinical assessments demonstrated a significant treatment efficacy of Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture, and its efficacy which was indicated by improved NIHSS score, was significantly correlated with the CC changes in the delta band network from baseline to needle retention. The correlation was strongest when the network sparsity was 0.12 ( r=0.78, P=0.002). Conclusion:Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture can regulate the brain network of stroke patients in real time, and this immediate regulation maybe associated with its treatment effect.

Objective: To explore the association between negative life events and smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for prevention and intervention of smartphone addiction among middle school students. Methods: Using cluster sampling, 8 890 students were selected to survey from 27 junior high schools and 3 senior high schools in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 (baseline) and 2023 (followup). Data were collected through selfresigned questionnaires on basic information, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, and the Adolescent Selfrating Life Events Checklist. Mixedeffects models were employed to analyze the association. Results: Compared to 2022, the punishment scores of middle school students in 2023 [1.00 (0.00, 6.00) and 1.00 (0.00, 6.00)] decreased (Z=4.27), while the scores of interpersonal stress, learning stress and adaptation [4.00(0.00, 8.00), 4.00(0.00, 8.00); 4.00(1.00, 8.00), 5.00(2.00, 9.00); 2.00 (0.00, 6.00), 3.00 (0.00, 7.00)] increased (Z=-3.04, -8.36, -6.80) (P<0.01). Mixedeffects models revealed a positive doseresponse relationship between negative life events and smartphone addiction (OR=1.08-1.17, P<0.01). Stepwise regression showed independent positive effects of interpersonal stress (OR=1.05), academic stress (OR=1.03), and adaptation stress (OR=1.11) on smartphone addiction (P<0.01). Subgroup analysis of nonaddicted students in 2022 confirmed persistent associations for academic stress (OR=1.03) and adaptation (OR=1.07) (P<0.01). Conclusion Negative life events exhibit a positive doseresponse relationship with smartphone addiction, particularly interpersonal stress, academic stress, and adaptationrelated events.

Objective: To explore the longitudinal association between only-child status and smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide a basis for establishing family intervention measures for smartphone addiction in middle school students. Methods: In October 2022 and October 2023, a preliminary survey and follow-up were conducted among 8 759 middle and high school students from 30 schools in a district of Shenzhen. A self-designed questionnaire was used to determine whether the students were the only-child, and the Chinese Version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (C-SAS-SV) was utilized to assess the students smartphone addiction status. A multilevel mixed-effects model and subgroup analysis were applied to examine the association between only-child status and smartphone addiction among middle school students. Results: During 2022 to 2023, the prevalence of smartphone addiction in the cohort of middle school students increased from 24.1% to 25.2%. Compared with only-child, non-only child were more likely to be addicted to smartphones (adjusted model: OR =1.2, 95% CI =1.1-1.4) and also scored higher on smartphone addiction (adjusted model: β =0.9, 95% CI =0.2-1.5)( P <0.05). Subgroup analysis further revealed that compared to baseline, non-only child demonstrated an increased prevalence of smartphone addiction (adjusted model: OR = 1.2 , 95% CI =1.0-1.5) and higher addiction scores (adjusted model: β =0.8, 95% CI =0.2-1.5) after one year( P <0.05). Conclusions Non-only child face higher risk of smartphone addiction. Under the current population policy, it is crucial to address smartphone addiction among middle school students who is not only child.

Objective: To explore the potential causal association between adolescent compulsive behaviour and smartphone addiction based on longitudinal data, so as to provide reference for the establishment of adolescent smartphone addiction interventions. Methods: A preliminary survey and follow-up were conducted on 8 907 middle and high school students in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Compulsive behaviours were measured by using the Mental Health Inventory for Middle School Students-60 Items (MMHI-60), smartphone addiction was assessed by using the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version ( SAS- SV), and the associations between compulsive behaviours and smartphone addiction were analysed by using multilevel mixed-effects models and subgroup analyses. Results: Smartphone addiction detection rates among middle school students were significantly associated with genders, father s education level, mother s education level, study load subgroups, and whether or not they were single-parent families, and there were statistical differences ( χ 2=17.21-175.34, P <0.05). Students with compulsive behaviours were 2.98 times more likely to develop smartphone addiction than those without compulsive behaviours ( OR=2.98, 95%CI=2.77-3.22, P <0.05). Subgroup analysis of middle school students without smartphone addiction in the first year found that compulsive behaviours significantly predicted smartphone addiction ( OR= 1.76 , 95%CI=1.54-2.01, P <0.05). Conclusion There is a potential causal association between obsessive-compulsive behaviours and smartphone addiction in middle school students, and obsessive-compulsive behaviours in middle school students could significantly predicted the occurrence of smartphone addiction.

Objective:To investigate the clinical, laboratory and imaging evaluation, treatment and prognosis of patients with idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis (IHP) with ophthalmic manifestations as the first symptom.Methods:A retrospective case analysis. Eight patients displaying symptoms of IHP were recruited from the Neuro-ophthalmology Department in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2016 to April 2019 were inculed in this study. There were 6 males and 2 females, aged from 11 to 65 years, with an average age of 48.00±19.08 years. The course of disease ranged from 30 days to 7.5 years, with an average course of 17.00±30.08 months. The age, symptoms and signs of all patients were recorded. All patients underwent ophthalmic examination, orbit or brain MRI or CT examinations, blood routine examination, biochemistry, tumor markers, immunity, hepatitis B, syphilis, HIV, thyroid function and other laboratory tests, and lumbar puncture was performed to measure the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and indicators. The clinical manifestations, orbital or brain MRI imaging and laboratory examination characteristics were summarized. Treatment and prognosis were also observed.Results:In total of 8 patients, visual loss was presented in 6 patients, visual loss and diplopia were presented in 1 patient, and diplopia was presented in 1patient. Binocular involvement in 7 patients and monocular involvement in 1 patient. Other symptoms including headache and hear loss and so on. Optic disc edema in 1 eye and optic disc pallor in 6 eyes were reviewed by fundus examination. The laboratory examination showed that the angiotensin converting enzyme abnormal in 4 patients, the anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody abnormal in 3 patients and immunoantibodies positive in 3 patients. CSF measurements showed that the protein level elevated in all patients. Orbit and/or brain MRI and CT examination showed that optic nerve involvement in 6 patients, oculomotor nerve involvement in 1 patient, and cavernous sinus region involvement in 2 patients. Glucocorticoid was effective in all patients, and the visual acuity significantly improved in 4 patients, the diplopia was completely resolved in 2 patients, and the disease modifying therapy (DMT) was combined to prevent recurrence in 7 patients. No recurrence was observed in an average follow-up time of 26.63±16.55 months.Conclusions:IHP patients may be first visit an ophthalmologist due to vision loss in bilateral eyes simultaneous or sequentially. IHP patients are often associated with headache and other cranial nerve paralysis symptoms. Definitive diagnosis of IHP depends on imaging examination. Glucocorticoid treatment is effective in early phase, but it is tendency to progress and relapse, suggesting combined with DMT as early as possible.
